{~~Logan Grey~~}I awoke in the night, needing a moment to myself. The room was dimly lit by the soft glow of the moon filtering through the curtains. I could hear the gentle breathing of Avery beside me, a comforting reminder of her presence. But something was gnawing at me, a need to satisfy my curiosity about Ava's other life. I had been thinking about it since I saw the open tab in Avery’s laptop. I hadn’t meant to check. I was looking for her to ask a question she was doing her rounds, it was right there and I saw Ava’s face. It’s been haunting me since. I knew it was terrible, invading Avery’s privacy and digging into the past I swore I’d left behind, but the urge was too strong to ignore.Slowly, I slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Avery. I padded across the room, the cool wooden floor chilling my bare feet, and reached for Avery’s laptop on the desk. I hesitated for a moment, feeling a pang of guilt, but then clicked open the search engine. She still had tabs open, wh

/THE PAST- SIX YEARS AND NINE MONTHS PRIOR/{~~Avery Sterling~~}Sometimes, there's nothing you can change about the past. No matter how much you wish you could, it remains the same, etched in the annals of time. This year marks the end of an era for me. The end of high school, the end of a chapter filled with bittersweet memories, and the end of my last moments in this school. As I stand on the precipice of a new beginning, there is one more thing I feel like I have to do before I leave for college.College. The word feels like a promise and a breath of fresh air. It's an escape, a beacon of hope, a chance to start anew. I am going to college to be a Green 400 level nurse, to help others and to build a life far removed from the toxic environment of my terrible family. The thought of leaving them behind brings a surge of relief and a touch of apprehension. But most of all, it fills me with an overwhelming sense of freedom. No more being stuck in Ava’s shadow. No more pain and having t

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I woke up to a very strange dream or I guess that’s incorrect. It wasn’t a dream, it was a recollection of a past event. The letters. Goodness, I'd been so young when I wrote the,. So heartbroken and so in love with a boy who didn't know I existed. I never had the guts to send it to him. He was my sister boyfriend for goodness sakes, I was not a fluzzie or delusional. I didn’t believe he could love me back. He was too into her sending that letter might have ruined my chances of leaving. And my parents would have hated themselves has word of what I wrote in their letters got out. I hope they just threw everything out of my room after I left.Surely, what else could they have done with it?The side of the bed where Logan slept was empty, and the sun was barely out, which meant I had to get some coffee in me and get ready for work while also searching for my husband. I headed down to the kitchen and was stunned to find Logan seated around the kitchen counter with a s

{~~Logan Grey~~}My ideas sometimes lead me to a brand new discovery. Take today for example.When I woke up this morning, I was set on burning all of Ava's letters until I found one that Avery and I had missed. Well, I found four. I opened two of them because they looked older than the others, and they had my name and Ava's name on them. Young Avery had poured her soul out in this letter, but she never sent it, and her sister never gave it to me. Because why would she? Why would Ava do anything for anyone but herself. She likely felt like that letter could snap me out of it.That’s what Avery doesn’t get. Ava wouldn’t have hidden it unless it benefits her. Which means she thought that letter would snap me out of the fog, it would have put a crack into the lies she told me. I was so dumb.Goodness. I'd been so obsessed with her music- having no idea it was her, obsessed with Ava, that I didn't notice all that was happening around me. And now, as I'm sitting in the living room on the l

{~~Avery Sterling~~}We were working from home this afternoon, given that Logan and I had both signed up for the night shift so the team could monitor and conduct our first test on the LDS patient. I hadn’t realized that until we went upstairs to take a bath and to get everything I needed to go to work. Checked in with a fellow nurse and she informed me that we were signed in for the night shift.I changed my clothes during the time logan went out to make his call, because clothes aren’t clothes. What I wear to work, I cannot wear to just lounge around and do nothing.Now back to work, and the grumpy bastard of a patient.His name is Martin Miller- yes yes, I finally learned his name. I am such a great nurse. Learning my patient’s name two, three days after he was brought in. Currently Logan was busy working on the first method we would use in testing him, while I finalized some paperwork and made sure all our protocols were in place. Our equipment was arriving tomorrow night, and we

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I got up from my seat, stretching my bones that had been in one position for far too long. The tension in my back and neck released with a satisfying series of pops, and I let out a small sigh of relief. It was time for a break, and more importantly, it was time to make some lunch for Logan and me. The thought of preparing a meal together brought a smile to my face. There was something incredibly intimate and grounding about cooking with someone you care about. I’m like a queen of romance. I mean I do want him to fall in love with me. Hopelessly.As I headed to the kitchen, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the soft click of Logan closing his laptop. He rose from his seat and joined me, a playful glint in his eyes. It made me blush, feeling like my heart rate was about to spike up."Need any help?" he asked, leaning against the doorframe with a casual, yet inviting, demeanor. His bare muscular arms wrapped above his firm pecs."Absolutely," I replied with a grin,

{~~Avery Sterling~~}Logan and I shared a steamy shower... sue me, i don’t care. And changed into our scrubs.We headed to the hospital for the first testing, our hearts full of anticipation and determination. The lab looked quite empty right now, but tomorrow it would be amazing. We weren't spending a dime of the donated money on ourselves; everything was going into this crucial project.As we entered the lab, I felt a surge of pride and excitement. The equipment had been set up meticulously, ready for the groundbreaking work we were about to undertake. This isn’t the new equipments though. These are just some of the equpments we could get our hands on to start the testing. Logan immediately began explaining his plans to the others, his voice steady and authoritative. He outlined the procedures, the safety protocols, and the goals for tonight’s testing. The team listened intently, their faces a mix of hope and resolve.I excused myself from the group, feeling a tug of responsibility

{~~Logan Grey~~}The first testing was about to begin, and I felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. The lab, now a hive of activity, was a testament to the countless hours of preparation and planning that had brought us to this moment. Every piece of equipment, every test tube and microscope, was ready to be put to use in our quest to find a cure for Lycanthropic Decay Syndrome (LDS).Martin Miller, our patient, lay on the bed in the observation room, his body weak and his eyes half-closed. He was barely awake, but we were committed to keeping him as comfortable as possible, ensuring he was fed and hydrated throughout the process. The one-way glass allowed us to monitor him without causing any additional stress, giving us a clear view of his condition. After the rage, the violence, the victims of the LDS are left with pain, hollow feeling and wishes of death.I took a deep breath and glanced at Avery, who was by my side, her face set with determination. Together, we had put everyt
